L245 crucifix 18th century Italian station ofPair of 17th century Italian hand carved arms of Christ adorned with crystal and tourmaline and mounted on tourmaline in matrix. The pieces were originally part of a figure of Christ on a crucifix in a historical church in Venice. The arms are naturally distressed from age and the tourmaline and crystals coordinate with the arms to look as though the sculptural pair evolved together over time.
